A Genial Restorative.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are emphatic
ally q genial restorative. The changes which
this great botanic remedy produces in the
dsordered organization are always agreeably
though surely progressive, never abrupt and
violent. On this account 1t Is admirably
adapted to persons of delicate constitution
and weak nerves. to whom the powerful min
eral drugs are positively injurious. That it
initiates those processes which result in the
re-establishment of healthful vigor is con-
spicuously shown in cases where 1t is taken
TO overcome that fruitful cause of debility,
Indigestion, coupled, as 1t usually Is, with
biliousness and constipation. Thorough d.
gestion, regular evacuation and abundant
secretion, are results which promptly and in
variaDly attend its systematic use. II is, be-
sides, the best protective against malaria, and
a first rate diuretic.

MARTINsBURG, W. VA, SATURDAY MARCH 49, 1887.

1t is easy to figure out on paper
how much it costs to live, but such
figures never hold out. They neces-
state buying in small quantities,
and thus the least and the worst is
received for the money. 1t is easier
to say it costs $50 for shoes and
clothing for a family ofchildren than
te keep them in clothes and shoes
for any amount set apart. So with
schooling, doctors bills, rent and
hundreds of other things needed
Then the figuring is for full month
of working days, which may on an
average hold out for factory hands,
but for railroad repair hands, day
laborers of all kinds, twenty days a
month may be nearer right, and no
allowance for sickness. The wages
averaged at 81 day or $3.50, may
cover regular employees, but thous-
ands of men work at whatever they
can get, from go cents to 80 day.
It used to be more generally custo-
mary to board this class of laborers,
but now housewives, whether of
farmers, builders, or employers of
any kind, positively refuse to board
anyone; in many instances it goes
hard enough to board their own
families, and their own children are
frequently hurried out into the
world on that account.
In the farming districts of even
the richer States, the condition of
the laborer is little better than in
the towns and cities. There is a
cry everywhere for a reduction in
the price oflabor. The farmer re-
fuses to pay more than the price of
a bushel of wheat for days work,
board not included. Several years
ago harvest time helped the laborer
out, but now 81 or $1.25 day is all
farmers can pay through haymak-
ing and harvest, and go to 70 cents
for other work, even down to so
cents a day for corn husking. No
wonder, then, that labor is scarce,
and that the cities and towns, shops
and factories, are overcrowded,
while house and farm help is scarce.
The tenant is always in arrears from
one year to another. His wife and
children suffer. The father aud
mother who raise and educate a
family of children under such cir
cumstances, must sacrifice their own
lives. OF no one is this more true
than of the unskilled, crippled and
wornout "tagel@haer," whether in
town or country. We see him
everywhere.
The labor question is serious
one, and no man can tell how it will
be settled. If wages have to come
down, the profits of capital must
come down. The extremes in this
country are becoming too great
too much wealth and too much
poverty. Those who would consider
the question of poverty and labor,
must follow the reverend writer re-
ferred to, and begin where the evil
is greatest.

For men and boys wear, the reductions
are equally as great on suitings, over
coats, coats, pants and vests, all custom
made. On readymade clothing, most of
which is our own make, the prices are at
one-half to two-thirds the regular Price.
Boots and shoes, hats and caps, furnish
ing goods, gloves, horse blankets, robes,
canes, umbrellas, in fact every article

AN AFFEcTING.INcIDEHT.

LII may not uo OUT oi place. ia cOu
nection with the history of the late
Henry Ward Beecher, to mention
al affecting incident in his life
which may not have faded from the
remembrance of some ;of our older
citizens. In 1860 or '61, q beautiful
octoroon girl, raised and owned by
prominent citizen of this county.
Mr.. John Churchman, attempted to
make her escape North. She was
arrested and brought back. Her
master then determined to sell her,
and found ready purchaser in an
other citizen, Mr.. Fred. Scheffer.
Shortly after this, the latter owner
was impressed with the belief that
the girl intended to make another
effort to go North, the first opportu.
nifty that presented. To meet the
emergency and save trouble Mr..
Scheffer proposed to Sarah that she
should go North and raise enough
money from the abolitionists to
purchase herself. This proposition
she eagerly accepted and being fur
nlshed with means by Mr.. s. to pay
her fare, she started. A few days
after her arrival in New York, she
was taken to Mr.. Beecher, and ON
the following Sabbath morning was
escorted to his pulpit in Brooklyn.
She was a woman Of commanding
presence, rounded features and win.
ming face, and long, jet black hair.
and of course, under the circum.
stances, attracted most eager atten
tion and interest from the large and
wealthy congregation assembled.
Ste was requested to unloosen her
hair, and as she did so it fell IN
glistening waves over her shoulders
and below her waist. ROBBED in
spotless white, her face crimsoned
and form heaving under tae excite
ment Of the occasion, she stood in
that august presence very Venus
in form and feature. For a moment
Mr.. Beecher remained by her side
without uttering a word, until the
audience was wrought up to a high
pitch of curiosity and excitement.
And then in his impressive way he
related her story and her mission.
Before he concluded his pathetic
recital the vast audience was sea
of commotion. Tears ran down
cheeks unused to the melting mood,
eager curiosity and excitement per.
vaded the whole congregation, and
as the pastor announced that be
wanted $4,000 for the girl before
him to redeem her promise to pay
for her freedom, costly jewelry and
trinkets and notes and specie piled
in such,rapid succession, that in less
time than it takes to write this
down, enough and much more was
necessary to meet the call that had
been made. What became of
Sarah after this remarkable in
PRODUCTION to the Tabernacle Con-
gregation, and the sensational
incidents connected with it, we
never learned. But the incident
itself illustrated the broad humanity
of the great preacher and the
tender sympathy he felt for tae
humble and oppressed Valley
